A supersymmetric $D = 1, N =1$ model with a Grassmann-odd Lagrangian is proposed which, in contrast to the model with an even Lagrangian, contains not only a kinetic term but also an interaction term for the coordinates entering into one…
Using Grassmann variant of classical mechanics, we construct Lagrangian dynamics of classical spinning particle in (possibly non-abelian) gauge fields. Quantization of this model is briefly discussed.

The aim of this paper is to present a short introduction to supergeometry on pure odd supermanifolds. (Pseudo)differential forms, Cartan calculus (DeRham differential, Lie derivative, "inner" product), metric, inner product, Killing's…
In this article one introduces a formalism of classical mechanics where complex Lagrangian functions are admitted. The results include complex versions of the Lagrangian function, of the Euler-Lagrange equation, of the Hamilton principle, a…

We take advantage of different generalizations of the tangent manifold to the context of graded manifolds, together with the notion of super section along a morphism of graded manifolds, to obtain intrinsic definitions of the main objects…
The relationship between the Hamiltonian and Lagrangean functions in analytical mechanics is a type of duality. The two functions, while distinct, are both descriptive functions encoding the behavior of the same dynamical system. One…

Two supersymmetric classical mechanical systems are discussed. Concrete realizations are obtained by supposing that the dynamical variables take values in a Grassmann algebra with two generators. The equations of motion are explicitly…
It is shown that two definitions for an exterior differential in superspace, giving the same exterior calculus, yet lead to different results when applied to the Poisson bracket. A prescription for the transition with the help of these…
Superconformal methods are useful to build invariant actions in supergravity. We have a good insight in the possibilities of actions that are at most quadratic in spacetime derivatives, but insight in general higher-derivative actions is…
We analyze the relation between the concept of auxiliary variables and the Inverse problem of the calculus of variations to construct a Lagrangian from a given set of equations of motion. The problem of the construction of a consistent…
The aim of the present text is twofold: to provide a compendium of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian geometries and to introduce and investigate new analytical Mechanics: Finslerian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian. The fundamental equations (or…
We prove that an analog of the exterior differential acts on the space of arbitrary Lagrangians of multidimensional paths on any manifold or supermanifold, thus making this space into a cochain complex. An analog of the Stokes' formula…
Some applications of the odd Poisson bracket developed by Kharkov's theorists are represented, including the reformulation of classical Hamiltonian dynamics, the description of hydrodynamics as a Hamilton system by means of the odd bracket…
We derive the equations of motion of an action-dependent version of the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian, as a specific instance of the Herglotz variational problem. Action-dependent Lagrangians lead to dissipative dynamics, which cannot be…
We review recent progress in a fully dynamical Lagrangian description of the supergravity-superbrane interaction. It suggests that the interacting superfield action, when it exists, is gauge equivalent to the component action of dynamical…
In this short note we show that any action for $N$ interacting particles can be made invariant under gauged Galilean transformations. While resulting Lagrangian is generally very complicated its Hamiltonian has simple form with first class…
We review problems involving the use of Grassmann techniques in the field of classical spin systems in two dimensions. These techniques are useful to perform exact correspondences between classical spin Hamiltonians and field-theory…
